8th Grade Prepares Students for the Future

From Introduction to World Languages to Character Education & Leadership Development, our 8th grade curriculum is designed to prepare students for what's ahead.

We emphasize the development of the academic, social, and problem-solving skills necessary for success in high school and beyond.

8th Grade Helps Students Grow

Our 8th grade Becoming a Gentleman curriculum teaches students to embrace what it means to be a gentleman in an ever-changing world.

Education is life.

Whether learning is hands-on or traditional, students have to take the time to explore how the topics they study apply to their lives. Experiential learning allows students to discover answers by guiding each other through the learning process. In a cross-curricular setting, projects, field trips, and events are designed to help students bring their learning from HistoryEnglishScienceFine Arts, and World Languages together.
